UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DOCUMENT ELECTRONICALLY FILED SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DOC #: CHERYL K. BURRIS, DATE FILED: 4/21/20 21 Plaintiff, 1:20-cv-09312-MKV -against- ORDER COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HEALTH CARE, INC., et al., Defendants. MARY KAY VYSKOCIL, United States District Judge: On April 21, 2021, the Court held a hearing in this case concerning the Parties’ settlement of Plaintiff’s claims. Previously, Plaintiff sought to dismiss this case without Court review of the settlement. See Notice of Voluntary Dismissal, ECF No. 10. However, because the Parties’ settlement purported to waive Plaintiff’sclaims, the Court determinedthat review of the settlement was appropriate pursuant to Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House,

(2d Cir. 2015). Plaintiffthereafter submitted a letter and documentation in support of the settlement. See Motion to Approve Settlement, ECF No. 18. As discussed at the April 21, 2021 conference, the Court has reviewed these documents for fairness in accordance with the FLSA and Second Circuit law, see, e.g.,Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House,

(2d Cir. 2015), and has concluded that the terms are fair and reasonable. It should be noted, however, that the Court is not in this endorsement opining specifically on the reasonableness of the rates charged by the attorney representing Plaintiff. Accordingly, the settlement is approved, and the Court ORDERS that the case be dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate all pending motions, adjourn any remaining dates, and close this case.

SO ORDERED.
